through Jesus Christ our Lord.
^Reat and manifold were the bleffings ( molt dread foveraigne )
, which almighty God, the Father of all mercies, bellowed upon
us the people or England, whenfirfthe fent your Majesties
Royall perfon to rule and reigne over us. For whereas it was
the expedition of many, who wilhed not well unto our Sion,
1 that upon the fetting of that bright Occident all fiarre queen Eli-
sabeth of moft happy memory,fome thick and palpable clouds of darknefie
would fo have overfhadowed this land , that men fhould have been in doubt
which way they were to walk, and that it fhould hardly be known, who was to
direft the unfetled ftate: the appearance of your M a j e s t i e , as of the fume in
his ftrength, inftantly difpelled thofe fuppofed and furmifed mills, and gave un-
to all that were well affe&ed, exceeding caufe of comfort, efpecially when we
beheld the government ettablifhed in your H i g h n e s , and your hopefull feed,
by an undoubted title, and this alfo accompanied with peace and tranquillitie at
home and abroad.
But afnongfl: all our joyes there was no one that more filled our hearts, then the
blefled continuance of the preachingof Go d s facred word amongft us, which
is that ineflimable treafure, which excelleth all the riches of the earth, becaufe
the fruit thereof extendeth it felf, not onely to the time /pent in this tranfitory
world, but diredeth and difpofethmen unto that eternall happindfe which is
above in heaven.
Then not to fuffer this to fall to the ground,but rather to take it up,and to con-
tinue it inthatftate, wherein the famous predeceflour of your Highnes did
leave it: nay,to go forward with the confidence and refolution of a man in main-
taining the truth ofCHRi st, and propagating it farre and neare, is that which
hath fo bound and firmly knit the hearts of all your Majesties loyall and
religious people unto you, that your very name is precious among them,their eye
doth behold you with comfort, and they blelfeyou in their hearts, as that fanfti-
fied perfon, who under God, is the immediate authour of their true happinefle.
And this their contentment doth not diminilh or decay,but every day increafeth
* s and
and taketh ftrength, when theyobferve that the zeal of your Maje s t i v
towards the houle of Go d, doth not flack or go backward, but is more and
n»re kindled, manifefting it fclf abr oad in the fur theft parts of Chriftendome , by
writing in defence of the truth/ which hath given fuch a blow unto that man of
finne, as will not be healed ) and every day at home, by religious and learned dif-
courfe, by frequenting the houie of G o d, by hearing the word preached , by
cheriftiinc the teachers thereof,by caring lor the Church as a moft tender and lo-
ving nurhng Father. ... - t, - .. i
There are infinite arguments of this right Chriftian and religious affeftion in
your Maje stie: but none is more forcible to declare it to others., then the
vehement and perpetuated defire of the accomplilhing and publishing of this
work, which now with all humilitie we prefent unto your Maje stie. Foe
when your Highnefle had once out of deep judgement apprehended how con-
venient it was, that out of the originall facred tongues, together with compa-
ring of the labours, both in our own and other for rein languages, of many
worthy men who went before iis, there fliould be one more exaft tranflation of
the holy feriptures into the Englijb tongue; your MAjiSTiEdid never defift
to urge and to excite thofe to whom itwas commended, that the work might be
haftened, and that the bufinefle might be expedited in fo decent a manner, as a
matter of fuch importance might juftly require.
And now at laft, by the mercy of G o d, and the continuance of our labours*'
it being brought unto fuch aconclufion, as that we have great hope that the
Church of England fliall reap good fruit thereby; we hold it our duty to offer it
to your Maje stie, not onely as to our king and foveraigne, but as to the
principall mover and authour of the work: Humbly craving of your moft facred
Maje sti E,that fince things of this quality have ever been fubjed to the
cenfures of ill-meaning and difeontented perfonsjit may receive approbation and
patronage from fo learned and judicious a prince as your Highnes is,whofe
allowance and acceptance of our labours, (hall more honour and incourage us,
then all the calumniations and hard interpretations of other men fliall diftnay us.
So that, if on the one fide we fliall be traduced by popifli perfons at home or
qbroad, who therefore will maligne us,becaufe we are poore inftruments to make
G®ds holy truth to be yet more and more known unto the people,whom they de-
fire [till to keep in ignorance and darknefle: or if on the other fide, we fliall be
maligned by felf-conceited brethren, who run their own wayes, and give liking
unto flowing but what is framed by themfdves, and hammered on their anvile:
we may reft fecure, fupported within by the truth and innocency of a good con-
fcience , having walked the wayes of fimplicitie and integritie, as before the
Lord; and fuftained without, by the powerfull protection of your Maje stie $
grace and favour, which will ever give countenance to honeft and Chriftian en-
deavours, againft bitter cenfures, and uncharitable imputations.
The L o r d of heaven and earth blefle your Maj’eftie with many and happy
dayes, that as his heavenly hand hath enriched your Highnefle with many Angu-
lar and extraordinary graces;fo you may be the wonder of the world in this latter
age, for happinefle and true felicitie, to the honour of that great God, and the
good of his Church, through J e s u s C hr i s t our Lord and onely Saviour. '

The heft

mniated.
E A L to promote the common good , whether it be by devtfing anything our
[elves, or revifmgthxt which hath been laboured by others, deferveth cer-
tainly much refpeft and efleem, but yet findeth but cold entertainment in the
World . It is welcomed witkfufricion in ftead of love , and with emulation in
(lead of thanks: and if there be any hole left for cavilL to enter, ( and caviU,
if it donotfinde an holey will make one ) it is fur e to be mifeonflrued, and in
_ _ danger to be condemned. This will eajily be granted by as many as fatowflo-
rie,orloave any experience. Tor, was there ever any thing projected, that favoured anyway of
newnefle or renewing, bup the fame endured many a ftorm of gainfaying, or oppofition ? matt
would think that civilitie, wholefome laws, learning and eloquence, fynods, and Church-mainte-
nance, ( that we freak of no more things of this fande) Jhould be as fafe as a fati6luarie, and

the motioners of them. For by the firft, we are difingui/hed from brute beafls led with fenfua-
litie: By the fecond,we are bridled and refrained from outragious behaviour, and from doing
of injuries, whether by fraud or by violence i By the third , we are enabled to inform and reform
ethers, by the light and feeling that we have attained unto ourfelves: Briefly , by the fourth,
being brought together to a parley face to face , we fooner compofe our differences, then by
writings , which are endlefle : „ind laflly , that the Church be fufliciently provided for, is Jb
agreeable togood reaf on and confcience, that thofe mothersare holdento beleflecruell, that fall
their children ajfoon as they are born, then thofe nurfing-fathers and mothers ( wherefoever
they be ) that withdraw from them who hang upon their breafls ( and upon whofe breafls again
themfelves do hang to receive the frirituall and fincere milk °f t^e rvord ) livelihood and fupport
fit for their e fates. Thus it is apparent, that thefe things which we freak °f» are of mof ne-
eejfarie ufe, and therefore that none, either without ab fur ditie can /peak againf them, or with -
out note of wiefaedne/fe can frurn againf them.
Tetfor all that, the learned faiow that certain worthy men have been brought to untimely Anaebarjh*

Egypt, to procure the tranflatingof the book °f God out of Hebrew into Greek. This is the
tranflation of the Serentie interpreters, commonly fo called, which prepared the way for our Sa-

F or the Grecians being defir ous of learning, were not wont to fuffer books of worth to he mould -

they were differ fed and made common. Again,thc Greek tongue was well known and made fami-

alfo by the colonies, which thither they had fent. For the fame caufes alfo it was well underftood
in many places of Europe, yea, and of Africk too. Therefore the word of God being fet forth in
Greek, becometb hereby like a candle fet upon a candleftick , which givech light to all that are in

preachers of the Gofpel to appeal unto for witn'es, and for the learners alfo of thojfe times to make
fearcb and triall by. It is certain, that that tranflation was not fo found and fo perfect, but that
it needed in many places correction', and who had been fo fufficient for this work as the Apofites or
apoftolike men ? Tetitfeemedgood to the holy Ghoft and to them, to take that which they found,
(the fame being for thegreateft part true and fufficient)rather then by making a new, in that new
World and green age of the Church, to expofe themfelves to many exceptions and cavillations,as
though they made a tranflation to ferve their own turn-, and therefore bearing witnefte to them-
felves, their witneffe not to be regarded. This may be fuppofed to befome caufe, why the tranfla-
tion of the Seventie was allowed to paffefor currant. Notwitbftanding, though it was commend-
ed generally, yet it did not fully content the learned, no-not of the Jews. For not long after Chrift,
Acjuila fell inband with <a new tranflation, and after him Theodotion, and after him Symma-

the Seventie made up the Hexapla , and were worthily and to great pur pofe compiled together
by Oviecn. Howbeit the edition of the Seventie went away with the credit, and therefore not one -

reproof) but let ns rather bleffc God from the ground of our heart, for working this religious f, firman ma-
ture in him, to have the tran/lations of the bible maturely confrdered of and examined. For by gshtum'- Hw,
this means it cometh to paffe, thatwhatfoever is found alreadie ( and all is found for fubftance, dSalvtn.
in one or other of our editions, and the worft of ours farre better then their authentic k vulgar )
the fame will /fine as gold more brightly , being rubbed and poli/bed; alfo, if any thing be halting,

then this? and wherein could they that have been fet a work, approve their dutie to the King,
yea their obedience to God, and love to his Saints more, then byyccldihg their fervice, and all
that is within them, for the furnifhing of the work? But be fide s all this, they were the princi-
pall motives of it, and therefore ought leaft to quarrell it- For the very hifroricall truth is, that
upon the importunate petitionsof the Puritanes, at his Majeflie? coming to this crown, the con-
ference at Hampton Court having been appointed for hearing their complaints: when by force
of reafon they were put from all other grounds, they had recourfe at tbelaft,to this friift, that
they could not with good confidence fubferibe to the Communion bookfrice it maintained the bi-
ble as it was there tranflated, which was, as they [aid, a moll corrupted tran/lation. And al-
though this was judged to be but a very poore and emptie /hi ft, yet even hereupon did bis Make-
file begin to bethink himfelf of the good that might cnfuc by anew tran/lation , and prefently
after gave order for this tran/lation which is now prefented unto thee. Thus much to fatisfie our
fcrupulous brethren.
An anfwtrto Now to the latter we anfwer , That we do not dense, nay we affirm and avow, that the very
theimputati- tneanefl tran/lation of the bible in Englilh,/ef forth by men of our profeffton (for we have fecit
°"s °£- none of theirs of the whole bible as yet ) containeth the word of God, nay, is the word of God.

the like grace, nor per adventure fo fitly for phrafe, nor fo expreflyforfenfe, every where. For
it is confeffed, that things are to take their denomination of the greater part-, and a natur all
man could fay, Verum ubi miilta nitent in carmine, non ego paucis offendor maculis, &c. A -
man may be counted a vertuous man,thuugh he have made many flips in his life, (elfe there were
none vertuous, for in many things we ofi'end all) alfo a comely man and lovely , though he have James j.aj
fame warts upon his hand-, yea, not onelyfreckcls upon bis face, but alfo fcarres. No caufe there-
fore why the word tranflated Jhould be denied to be the word, or forbidden to be currant , not-
withstanding thatfome imperfections and blemi/hes may be noted in the fertingforth of it. For
what ever was perfect under the funne, where Apo flies or apofloUk? men, that is, men endued
with an extraordinarie meafure of Gods Spirit , and priviledgedwith the priviledge ofinfalli -
bilitie, bad not their hand? The Romanifls therefore in refuflng to heave ^nd daring to burn the
word tranflated, did no leffe then defpite the Spirit of grace, from whom originally it proceeded ,
and whofe fenfe and meaning, as well as mansweakneffe would enable , it did expreffc. fudge by
an example ortno. Plutarch wnteth, that after that Rome had been burnt by the Galls , they Phnai&h*

Origen, and,the whole Church of God for certain hundredyeares,were of another minde : for
they were fofarre from treading under foot (much more from burning) the tranflation o/Aquila

that is, moft vile heretikes, that they joyned them together with the Hebrew Original, and the
' tranflation of the Seventie (as hath been before fignified out of Epiphinius ) and fet them forth
openly to be considered of, and perufedby all. But we weary the unlearned, who need not know
fo much-, and trouble the learned, who know it alreadie.
Tet before we end, we mujl anfwer a third caviU and ob jeftion of theirs againfl us , for alter-

For to whom ever was it imputed for a fault (by fuch as were wifejto go over that which be had

commanded thefervice-book of S. Gregorie univerfally to be ufed. well, Officium Grcgorianum
gets by this means to be in credit -, but doth it continue without change or altering? No, the very
Romane fervice was of two fafhions-,the new fafhion,and the old,(the one ufed in one church, the
other in another ) as is to be feen in Pamelius a Romanift,bis preface before Micrologus. The fame
■pamelius report eth out of Radulphus de Rivo, that about the year e of our Lard 127 7, Pope Ni-
colas the third removed out of the churches of Rome, the more ancient books ( of fervice ) and
brought into ufe the mijfals of the Friars Minorites , and commanded them to be obferved there j
infomuch that about an hundred yeares after, when the abovenamed Radulphus happened to be
at Rome, be found all the books to be new, of the new (tamp. Neither was there this chopping
and changing in the more ancient times onely, but alfo of late: Pius Quintus himfe/f confefleth,
that every bifhoprick almofl had a peculiar Ifinde of fervice, moft unlike to that which others
■ , had 5 which moved him to abolifh all other breviaries, though never fo ancient, and priviledged

heal the fore of the daughter of his people foftly and fleightly, and make the beft of it, findeth fo
great fault with them for their ods and jarring, we hope the children have no great caufe to
vaunt of their iiniformitie. But the difference that appeareth between our tranjlations, and our
often corre fling of them, is the thing that we are fpecially charged with-, let us fee therefore whe-
ther they themfelves be without fault this way, ( if it be to be counted a fault, to corre£t ) and

king occafion by them, though they thought of nofuch matter, did ftrive what he could, out of fa '

Therefore, as Demaratus of Corinth advifed a great King, before he talked of the diffentions

fame cafe altogether, yet upon the fame ground) Melius eft dubitare de occultis,quam litigare de
incertis: It is better to make doubt of thofe things which are fecret, then to ftrive about thofe
things that are uncertain. There be many words in the Scriptures which be never found there
but onee,(bavingncither brother nor neighbour, as the Hebrews fpeak ) fo that we cannot be
holpen by conference of places. Again, there be many rare names of certain birds,beafls,and pre-

Septuaghu. Now in fuch a cafe , doth not a margine do well to admonifh thc Reader to feekfur-

10 And a river went out of Eden to water

every one that had fame white in it, and all the

36 And he fet three dayes journey betwixt

poplar, and of the hafel and chefnut-tree; and
pilled white drakes in them , and made the
white appear which was in the rods.

before the flocks in the gutters in the watering-
troughs , when the flocks came to drink ; that
■they (hould conceive when they came to drink.
39 And the flocks conceived before the rods,
and brought forth cattel ring-ftraked, fpeckled,

40 And Jacob did feparate the lambes, and
fet the faces of the flocks toward the ring-
Rraked , and all the brown in the flock of La-

18 And he carried away all his cattel,and
all his goods which he had gotten, the cattel

22 And it was toidXaban on the third day

Heb, from that thou fpeak not to Jacob \ either good or

f Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now
Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount : and
Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount
of Gilead.
2 6 And Laban faid to Jacob , What haft
thou done , that thou haft ftolen away una-
wares to me, and carried away my daughters,
as,captives taken with the fword ?
27 Wherefore didft thou flee away fecretly,

28 And halt not fuffered me to kifl'e my

foolilhly in fo doing.
29 It is in the power of my hand to do you

thou fpeak not to Jacob either good or bad.
3 o And now though thou wouldeft needs be
gone, becaufe thou fare longedft after thy fa-

3 1 And Jacob anfwered and faid to Laban,
Becaufe I was afraid : for I faid, Peradventure 2-7
thou wouldeft take by force tby daughters from-
me.
3 2 With whomfoever thou findeft thy gods,
let him not live : before our brethren difcern
thou what ir thine with me, and take if to thee:
for Jacob knew not that Rachtl had ftolen
them.
3 3 And Laban went into Jacobs tent, & into
Leahs tent, and into the two maid-fervants
tents ; but he found them not. Then went he
out of Leahs tent,and entred into Rachels tent.
34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and
put them in the camels furniture, and fet upon
them: and Laban f fearched all the tent, but t Heb.jSfc*-
found them not.
35 And (he faid to her father. Let it not
difpleafe my lord that I cannot rife up before
thee ; for the cuftome of women is upon me:
and he fearched, but found not the images.
36 f And Jacob was wroth, and chode
with Laban : and Jacob anfwered, and faid to
Laban, What is my trefpaffe? what is my linne
that thou haft fo hotly purfued after me ?
37 Whereas thou haft fearched all my ftuff^
what haft thou found of all thy houihold-ftuff/
fet it here before my brethren and thy bre-
thren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
38 This twentie yeares have I been with
thee , thy ews and thy (he-goats have not calt
their young, and the ramirxs of thy flock have
I not eaten :

40 Thus I was, in the day the drought con*-
fumed me , and the froft by night j and my

two daughters, and fix yeares for thy cattel j
and thou haft changed my wages ten times.

me, furely thou hadft fent me away now empty:
God hath feen mine affli&ionand the labour

Went out unto J acob to commune with him.
7 And the fonnes of Jacob came out of the

grieved, and they were very wroth : becaufe he
had wrought folly in Ifrael , in lying with Ja-
cobs daughter j which thing ought not to be
done.
8 And Hamor communed with them , fay-
ing, The foul of my fonneSbechem longeth
for your daughter : I pray you give her him ta
wife.
9 And make ye marriages with us, and give
your daughters unto us, and take our daughters
unto you.
10 And ye ihall dwell with us, and the land

eyes, and what ye ihall fay unto me I will give.
it Ask me never fo much dowry & gift,and
I will give according as ye (hill fay unto me: but
give me the damlel to wife.
i j And the fonnes of Jacob anfwered She-
chem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and
faid, becaufe he had defiled Dinah their filter;
14. And they faid unto them, We cannot do
this thing,to give our lifter to one that is uncir-
cumcifed : for that were a reproch unto us.
1 5 But in this will we confent unto you: If
ye will be as we be , that every male of you be
circumcifed;
16 Then will we give our daughters unto
you, and we will take your daughters to us, and
we will dwell with you , and we will become
one people.
17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be
circumcifed ; then will we take out daughter,
and we will be gone.
18 And their words pleafed Hamor , and
Shechem Hamots fonne.

the thing, becaufe he had delight in Jacobs
daughter: and hew.# more honourable then

ned with the men of their citie, faying,

themdet us take their daughters to us for wives,
and let us give them our daughters.

24 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his

28 Thistx the thing which I have fpoken
unto Pharaoh; what God is about to do, he

19 Behold, there come feven yeares of great

5 2 And for that the dream was doubled un-
to Pharaoh twice , it it becaufe the thing it

f And all the fouls that came out of the

6 And Jofeph died, and all his brethren,
and all that generation.
_ * And the children of lfrael were fruit-
full, and increafed abundantly , and multiplied,
and waxed exceeding mightie , and the land
was filled with them .

more they multiplied and grew : and they were

but fared the men-children alive.

midwives, and faid unto them. Why have ye
done this thing, and have faved the men-chil-

19 And the midwives faid unto Pharaoh,
Becaufe the Hebrew women are not as the
Egyptian women: for they are lively, and
are delivered ere the midwives come in unto
them.

wives: and the people multiplied, and waxed
very mightie.

7 And Mofes took the tabernacle, and
pitched it without the camp , afarre oft from
thecamp, and called it the Tabernacle of the
congregation : And it came to pafle, that every
one which fought the L o r d , went out unto
the tabernacle of the congregation, which was
without the camp.
8 And ir came to pafle , when Mofes went
out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rofe
up , and flood every man at his tent doore, and
looked after Mofes, untill he was gone into the

God that we had died in the land of Egypt, or
would God we had died in this wildernefle.
3 And wherefore hath the Lord brought
us unto this land, to fall by the fword, that our
wives and our children fhould be a prey? were
it not better for us to return into Egypt ?

Lord followed them.
9 II And the armed men went before the
priefts that blew with the trumpets , and the
t Heb. £4- f rere- ward came after the ark, the priefts going
theting hoft. on, and blowing with the trumpets.
i o And J olhua had commanded the people,
t Heb. makj faying , Ye lhall not Ihout , nor f make any
r— - noife with your voice, neither lhall any word
proceed out of your mouth, untill the day I bid
you Ihout, then lhall ye Ihout.
u So the ark of the L o R d compafled the
citie, going about it once : and they came into
the camp, and lodged in the camp.
nf And Jolhua rofe early in the morning,
and the priefts took up the ark of the Lord.
i j And feven priefts bearing feven trumpets
of rammes horns before the ark of the Lord,
went on continually, and blew with the trum-
pets : and the armed men went before them,
but the rere-ward came after the ark of the
Lord, the priefts going on, and blowing with
the trumpets.
14 And the fecond day they compafled the
citie once, and returned into the camp : fo they
did fix dayes.

that they rofe early about the dawning of the
day, and compafled the citie after the fame

compafled the citie feven times.
1 6 And it came to pafle at the feventh time,
When the priefts blew with the trumpets , Jo-
lhua faid unto the people, Shout, for the Lord

20 So the people Ihouted when the priefts
blew with the trumpets : and it came to pafle
when the people heard the found of the trum-

that5* the wall fell down | flat, fo that the peo- ‘Hcb.Ti $0.

2 1 And they utterly deflroyed all that 1 vae

24 And they burnt the city with fire , and
ail that was therein : onely the filver and the

and Ihe dwelleth in Ifrael even unto this day :
becaufe (he hid the meflengers which Jolhua
fent to fpie out Jericho.

faying,* Curfed be the man before the L o r d, *, Kin_s s$,

6 f And Jofhua rent his clothes, and fell to
the earth upon his face , before the ark of the

of Ifrael, and put dull upon their heads.
7 And Jofhua faid , Alas, O Lord God,
wherefore haft thou at all brought this people
over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the
Amorites,to deftroy us? would to God we had
been content, & dwelt on the other fide Jordan.
8 O Lord, what lhall I fay, when Ifrael tum-

9 FortheCanaanites, and all the inhabi-

viron us round, and cutoff our name from the
earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great
name ?
to ^ And the Lord faid unto Joftiua, Get
ieb. JiUtft' thee up , wherefore f lieft thou thus upon thy
face ?
1 1 Ifrael hath finned , and they have alfo
tranfgrefled my covenant which I commanded
them : for they have even taken of the accurfed
thing , and have alfo ftolen , and diffembled
alfo , and they have put it even amongft their
own fluff.
i a Therefore the children of Ifrael could
not ftand before their enemies, but turned tbeir
backs before their enemies , becaufe they were
accurfed : neither will I be with you any more,
except ye deftroy the accurfed from amongft
you.
i 3 Up, fan Sine the people,and fay,San&ifie
your felves againft to morrow : for thus faith
the Lord God of Ifrael, There is an accurfed
thing in the midft of thee, O Ifrael : thou canft
not ftand before thine enemies , untill ye take
away the accurfed thing from among you.
14 In the morning therefore ye fhall be
brought according to your tribes r and it fhall
be that the tribe which the Lord taketh, (hall
come according to the families thereof and the
family which the Lord fhall take, fhall come
by houfholds j and the houfhold which the
Lord (hall take, fhall come man by man.
i y And it fhall be, that he that is taken with
the accurfed thing , fhall be burnt with fire, he
and ail that he hath : becaufe he hath tranf-
greffed the covenant of the L o r D,and becaufe
Or, tid'd- he hath wrought (| folly in Ifrael.
f- 1 6 ef So Joftiua rofe up early in the morning,
and brought Ifrael by their tribes: and the
tribe of J udah was taken :
17 And he brought the family of Judah,
and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he 193
brought the family of the Zarhites man by
man, and Zabdi was taken :
18 And he brought his houfhold man by
man, and Achan the fonne of Carmi, the fonne
of Zabdi, the fonne of Zerab, of the tribe of
Judah, was taken.
19 And Joftiua faid unto Achan, My fonne,
give , I pray thee, glory to the Lord Gbd of
Ifrael, and make confeffion unto him; and tell
me now what thou haft done, hide it not from
me.
20 And Achan anfwered Jofhua, and faid.
Indeed I have finned againft the L o r d God
of Ifrael, and thus and thus have I done.
21 When Ifaw among the fpoils a goodly
Babylonifti garment , and two hundred fhekels
of filver, and a } wedge of gold of fifty fhekels t Hefr*-
weight, then I coveted them, and took them, t,nSiie-
and behold , they are hid in the earth in the
-midft of my tent, and the filver under it.
22 So Jofhua lent meflengers, and they
ranne unto the tent, and behold, it was hid in
his tent, and the filver under it.
23 And they took them out of the midft of
the tent, and brought them unto Jofhua, and
unto all the children of Ifrael , and t laid them f Heb. Pm-
out before the Lord.
24 And Jofhua and all Ifrael with him,took j.
Achan the fonne of Zerab , and the filver, and
the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his
fonnes , and hisdaughters , and his oxen, and
his affes,and his {heep,and his tent, and all that .
he had: and they brought them unto the valley
of Achor.
2 y And J ofhua faid. Why haft thou troubled
us? the L o r d fhall trouble thee this day. And
all Ifrael ftoned him withftones, and burned
them with fire after they had ftoned them with
ftoncs.
26 And they raifed over him a great heap of
ftoncs unto this day : fo the Lord turned from
the fierceneffe of his anger; where fore the name

18 And the Lord faidunto Jolhua, Stretch

ilretched out the fpear that he had in his hand,

thefe were the male-children of Manafleh the

3 f But * Zelophehid the fonne ofHepher, * Num.itf
the fonneof Gilead, the fonneof Machir, the *nd ‘7-1-
fonne of Manafleh, had no fonnes, but daugh- and u

Mahiah,and Noah,Hoglah,Milcah,& Tirzab.
4 And they came neare before Eleazar the
prieft, and before Jolhua the fonneof Nun,

commanded Mofes to give us an inheritance

the commandment of the Lord, he gave them -
an inheritance among the brethren of their

Dr, brt»( y And the coaft dtfcended unto the || river

coaft of Manafleh alfo was on the north-fide of
the river,& the out-goings of it were at the fea.
to South-ward it was Ephraims,and north-
ward it was Manaffehs , and the fea is his bor-
der , and they met together in After on the
north, and in Iflachar on the eaft.
ii And Manafleh had in KTacbar and in
After, Beth-lhean and her towns, and Ibleam
and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and
her towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and
her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach
and her towns , and the inhabitants of Me-
giddo and her towns, even three countreys.
i z Yet the children of Manafleh could not
drive out the inhabitants of thofe cities,but the
Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13 Yet it came to pafle when the children
of Ifraei were waxen ftrong , that they put the
Canaanites to tribute ; but did not utterly drive
them out.
14 And the children of Jofeph fpake unto
Joftua, faying. Why haft thou given me but
one lot and one portion to inherit, feeing I am
a great people , forafmuch as the Lord hath
blefled me hitherto?
1 5 And Jo(hu3 anfwered them , If thou be
a great people , then get thee up to the wood-
countrey, and cut down for thy felf there in the
Or, Jte land of the Perizzites , and of the j|giants,if

16 And the children of Jofeph faid,The hill
is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites
that dwell in the land of the valley, have cha-
riots of iron, both they who are ofBeth-ftean
and her towns, and they who are of the valley
of Jezreel.
1 7 And Joftua fpake unto the houfe of Jo-
feph , even to Ephraim, and to Manafleh, fay-
ing, Thou art a great people , and haft great
power : thou (halt not have one lot onely.
18 But the mountain fliall be thine, for it is

4 Givcout from among you three men, for
each tribe: and I will fend them , and they

Judah fliall abide in their coaft on the fouth,

coaftsonthe north.
6 Ye fhall therefore deferibe the land into
feven parts, and bring the de/cription hither to
me, that I may caft lots for you here before the
Lord our God.
7 But the Levites have no part among you,
for the priefthood of the L o r d is their inhe-
ritance : and Gad and Reuben , and half the
tribe of Manafleh , have received their inheri-
tance beyond Jordan on the eaft, which Mofes
the fervant of the L o r d gave them.
8 f And the men arofe,and went away: and
Joftua charged them that went to deferibe the
land , faying, Go, and walk through the land,
and deferibe it , and come again to me , that I
may here caft lots for you before the L o r d in
Shiloh.
9 And the men went , and palled through
the land, anddeferibed it by cities , into feven
parts , in a book, and came again to Joftua to
the hoft at Shiloh.
10 f And Joftua caft lots for them in Shi-

ded the land unto the children of Ifraei accord-

Jofliua’s exhortation,
no ferve, whether the gods which your fathers
ferved,thatwere on the other fide of the floud,
or the gods of the Amorites, in whofe land ye
dwell: but as for me and my houfc, we will
ferve the L o r d.
1 6 And the people anfwered and (aid, God
forbid thatwelhould forlake the Loro , to
ferve other gods.
17 For the Lord our God, he it is that
brought us up, and our fathers out of the land
of Egypt, from the houfe ofl>ondage,and which
did thofe great fignes in our fight , and prefer-
ved us in all the way wherein we went, and a-
mong all the people through whom we patted.
18 And the L o a d drave out from before
us all the people , even the Amorites which
dwelt in the land : therefore will we alfo ferve
the L o r D, for he is our God.
1 9 And Jofliua faid unto the people, Ye can-
not ferve the L o r Djfor he ij an holy God: he
is a jealous God, he will not forgive your tranf-
gre {lions nor your finnes.
20 If ye foriake the Lord, and ferve ft range
* Chap* a j. gods, * then he will turn and do you hurt, and
*5». confume you , after that he hath done you

11 And the people faid unto Jofhua, Nay,
but we will ferve the Lord.
2 2 And Jofhua faid unto the people. Ye are
witnefles againft your felves,that ye have cho-
ftn you the Lord, to ferve him. And they faid,
we are wicnefles.
23 Now therefore put away, faid he, the
ftrmnge gods which are among you, and endine
your heart unto the L o r d God of Ifrael.
24 And the people faid unto Jofhua, The
L o a d our God will we ferve , and his voice
will we obey.
His age, death, and burial!.
2f So Jofhua made a covenant with the
people that day, and fet them a Astute, and an
ordinance in Shechem.
2 6 41 And Jofhua wrote thefe words in the
book of the law of God ,and took a great ftone,
and fee it up there under an oak, chatnvw by

2 7 And Jofhua faid unto all the people, Be-
hold, this {tone fhall be a witnefieunto us; for
it hath heard all the words of the Lord which

28 So Jofliua let the people depart, every
man unto his inheritance.
29 41 And it came to paffe after thefe things,

and it (hall be, that of whom I fay unto thee.
This ftiallgo with thee, the fame ihall go with

fhall not go with thee, the fame (hall not go.
5 So he brought down the people unto the
water: and the Lord faid unto Gideon, Every
one that lappeth of the water with his tongue
as a dog lappeth, him (halt thou fet by himfelf;
likewife every one that boweth down upon his
knees to drink.
6 And the number of them that lapped
putting their hand to their mouth, were three
hundred men : but all the reft of the people
bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
7 And the Lord faid unto Gideon, By the
three hundred men that lapped, will I fave you,
Di
His ftratagcme;
and deliver the Midianites into thine hand : ai 7
and let all the other people go every man unto

8 So the people took viduals in their hand,
and their trumpets : and he fent all the reft of
Ifrael, every man unto his tent, and retained
thofe three hundred men : and the hoft of Mi-
dian was beneath him in the valley.
9 And it came to pafle the fame night,
that the Lord faid unto him, Arife, get thee
down unto the hoft,for I have delivered it into
thine hand.
10 But if thou feat to go down, go thou
with Phurah thy fervant down to the hoft.
1 1 And thou flialc heare what they fay, and
afterward (hall thine hands be ftrengthened to

and * all the children of the eaft, lay along in * Chap.$,*s
the valley like graihoppers for multitude ; and
their camels were without number, as the fand
by the fea- fide for multitude.
13 And when Gideon was come , behold,
there was a man that told a dream unto his fel-
low, and faid, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and
lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the hoft
of Midian, and came unto a tent, and fmote it
that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay
along.
14 And his fellow 3nfwered, and faid,This
is nothing elfe fave thefwordof Gideon the
fonne of Joaih , a man of Ifrael : for into his
hand hath God delivered Midian , and all the
hoft.
15 H And it was^when Gideon heard the
telling of the dream, and fthe interpretation f Heb. the
thereof, that he worfliipped, and returned into brta<inZ
the hoft of Ifrael,and faid, Arife, for the Lord thtTt*fr
hath delivered into your hand the hoft of Mi-
dian. *
16 And he divided the three hundred men
into three companies, and he put t a trumpet t Heb trum-
in every mans hand, with emptie pitchers, and Peti in tkt
H lamps within the pitchers. ***

2 And David faid to Achifb , Surely thou
fhalt know what thy fervant can do. And A-

3 41 Now * Samuel was dead , andalllfrael *Chap.»5.i,,
had lamented him , and buried him in Ramah,

thofe that had familiar fpirits,and the wizards,
out of the land.
4 41 And the Philiflines gathered themfelves
together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and
Saul gathered all Ifrael together , and they
pitched in Gilboa.
5 And when Saulfaw the hoft of the Phili-

6 And when Saul enquired of the LoRD,the
Lord anfwered him not, neither by dreams,

7 11 Then faid Saul unto his fervants. Seek
me a woman that hatha familiar fpiric, that I
may go to her, and enquire of her. And his
fervants faid to him, Behold, there is a woman
that hath a familiar fpirit at En-dor.
8 And Saul difguifed himfelf, and put on
other raiment,and he wenr,andtwo men with
him, and they came to the woman by night ;
and he faid, I pray thee divine unto me by the
familiar fpirit, and bring me him up whom I

9 And the woman faid unto him, Behold,
thou knoweft what Saul hath done, how he

cried with a loud voice : and the woman fpake

is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived
that it tvas Samuel, and he ftoyped with his

1 5 H And Samuel faid to Saul, Why haft
thou difquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul
anfwered, I am fore diftreffed j for thePhili-

parted from me, and anfwereth me no more,

ANd it came to paffe when David and his

day, that the Amalekites had invaded the fouth
and Ziklag, and fmitte^i Ziklag, and burnt it
with fire :

were therein} they flew not any, either great or

j f So David and his men came to the city,
and behold , it was burnt with fire, and their
wives, and their fonnes, and their daughters
• were taken captives.
4 Then David and the people that were with
him, lift up their voice and wept, untill they
had no more power to weep.
5 And Davids two wives were taken ca-
ptives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitefie, and Abigail
the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

7 And David faid ro Abiathar the prieft

ephod to David.
8 And David enquired at the Lord, faying,
Shall I purfue after this troup? Hull I overtake
them? And he anfwered him, Purfue; for thou
(halt furely overtake them, 3nd without fail re-
cover all.
9 So David went, he and the fix hundred
men that were with him , and came to the
brook Befor, where thofc that were leftbe-
hinde, ftayed.
i o But David purfued , he and foure hun-
dred men: ( for two hundred abode behinde,
which were fo faint , that they could not go
over the brook Befor )
11 5T And they found an Egyptian in the
field, and brought him to David and gave him
bread, and he did eat, and they made him drink
water.
1 z And they gave him a piece of a cake of
figs, and two cluiters of raijins : and when he
had eaten, his fpirit came again to him : for he
had eaten no bread,nor drunk any water, three
dayes and three nights.
ij And David faid unto him. To whom
belongefl thou i and whence art thou? And he
faid, I am a young man of Egypt, fervant to an
Amalekite , and my mafter left me , be^aufe

1 4 We made an invafion upon the fouth of

1 y And David faid to him , Canft thou
bring me down to this company ? and he faid.
Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither
kill me, nor, deliver me into the hands of my
mafter, and I will bring thee down to this. com-
pany.
~ 16 ^ And when he had brought him down,
behold, they were fpread abroad upon all the
earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, be-
caufeof all the great fpoil that they had taken
out of the land of the Philiftines, and out of the

his two wives.
1 9 And there was nothing lacking to them,
neither fmall nor great, neither fonnes nor
daughters, neither fpoil, nor any thing that they
had taken to them : David recovered all.

I Timing the warre David Jlttt waxeth ftronger. 1 Six
founts were born to him in Hebron. 6 Abner difplea-
fedwith Ifh-bofbeth, i* revolteth to David. 13 Da-
vid requireth a condition to bring him hit wife Swit-
ch al. 17 Abner having communed with the Ifrae-
htes, it feasted by David, and difmifjed. at Joab re-
turning from battel, U diff leafed with the king, and
hilleth Cibner. 38 David curfetk Joab , 31 and
mourneth for Abner.
NOw there was long warre between the
houfe of Saul , and the houfe of David :
but David waxed ftronger and ftronger , and
the houfe of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
2 q And unto David were fonnes born in
Hebromand his firft-born was Amnon,of Ahi-
noam the Jeireeliteffe.
3 And his fecond, Chileab, of Abigail the
wife of Nabal the Carmelite : and the third,
Abfalom the fonne of Maacah, the daughter of
Talmai king of Gefhur :
4 And the fourth , Adonijah the fonne of
Haggith: and the fifth, Shephatiah the fonne
ofAbital;
5 And the fixth, Ichream, by Eglah Davids
Wife : thefe were born to David in Hebron.
6 f And it came to pafle while there was
warre between the houfe of Saul and the houfe
of David , that Abner made himfelf ftrong for
the houfe of Saul.
7 And Saul had a concubine , whofe name
achaj>. a 1. Was * Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah : and ijh-
i0* bojhetb faid to Abner , Wherefore haft thou
gone in unto my fathers concubine ?
8 Then was Abner very wroth for the words
of Ifh-bolheth, and faid , .Am I a dogs head,
which againft Judah do fhew kindnefie this
day unto the houfe of Saul thy father , to his
brethren, and to his friends , and have not de-
livered thee into the hand of David , that thou
chargeft me to day with a fault concerning this
woman ?
9 So do God to Abner , and more alfo, ex-
cept as the L o r. d hath fworn to David, even
fo I do to him :
1 o To tranflate the kingdome from the houfe
of Saul, and to fet up the throne of David over
Ifrael, and over J udah,from Dan even to Beer-
iheba.
1 1 And he could not anfwer Abner a word
again, becaufe he feared him.

hand of all their enemies.
1 9 And Abner alfo fpake in the eares of
Benjamin: and Abner went alfo to fpeak in the
eares of David in Hebron, all that feemed good
to Ifrael , and that feemed good to the whole
houfe of Benjamin.
20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and
twenty men with him: and David made Abner,
and the men that were with him, afeaft.
2 1 And Abner faid unto David, I will arife,
and go, and will gather all Ifrael unto my lord
the king , that they may make a league with
thee, and that thou mayeft reigne over all that
thine heart deflreth. And David fent Abner
away, and he went in peace.
22 And behold, the fervants of David and
Joab came from pur {king a troup, and brought
in a great fpoil with them : ( but Abner vetu
not with David in Hebron, for he had fent him
away, and he was gone in peace)
23 When Joab and all the hoft that re at
with him , were come, they told Joab, faying,
Abner the fonne of Ner came to the king, and
he hath fent him away,and he is gone in peace.
24 Then Joab came to the king, and faid.
What haft thou done? behold, Abner came un-
to thee, why is it that thou haft fent him away,
and he is quite gone?
2$ Thou knoweft Abner the fonne of Ner,
that he came to deceive thee , and to know thy
going out, and thy coming in, and to know all
that thou doeft.
26 And when Joab was come out from Da-

2 For the king faid to Joab the captain of 289
the hoft , which war with him, ||Go now || Or, com*
through all the tribes of Ifrael, from Dan even
to Beer-iheba, and number ye the people, that I
may know the number of the peoplei
3 And Joab faid unto the king. Now the
Lord thy God adde unto the people ( how
many foever they be ) an hundred-fold , and
that the eyes of my lord the king may fee it :
but why doth my lord the king delight in this
thing ?
4 Notwithftanding , the kings word pre- ~
vailed againft Joab, and againft the captains of
the hoft: and Joab and the captains of the hoft
went out from the prefence of the king,to num-
ber the people of Ifrael. ,
y f And they palled over Jordan, and pitch-
ed in Aroer , on the right fide of the city that
lietb in the midli of the |j river of Gad , and j] Or, v/tltfi
toward Jazer.
6 Then they came to Gilead , and to the
jj land of Tahtim-hodfhi ; and they came to fl Or, nether'
Dan- jaan, and about to Zidon, loadnntlj
7 And came to the ftrong hold of Tyre, and *n>la^ted*
to all the cities of the Hivites , and of the Ca-
naanites: and they went out to the fouth of Ju-
dah, even to Beer-lheba.
8 So when they had gone through all the
land, they came to Jerufalem at the end of nine
moneths and twenty dayes.
9 And Joab gave up the fumme of the num-
ber of the people unto the king, and there were
in Ifrael eight hundred theufand valiant men
that drew the fword •, and the men of Judah
were five hundred thoufand men.
10 ^ And Davids heart fmote him , after
that he had numbred the people : and David
faid unto the L o r d, I have finned greatly in
that 1 have done : and now I befeech thee , O
Lor d, take away theiniquitie of thy fervantj
for I have done very foolilhly.
1 1 For when David was up in the morning,
the word of the L o r d came unto the prophet
Gad, Davids feer, faying,
12 Goand fay unto David , Thus faith the
L o r d , 1 offer thee three things j choofe.thee
one of them,thit I may do it unto thee.
13 So Gad came to David , and told him
and faid unto him. Shall feven yearesof famine
come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee
three mqpeths before thine enemies, while they
purfue thee ? or that there be three dayes pefti-
lencc in thy land? now advife and fee what an-
fwer I ftiall return to him that fent me.
1 4 And David faid unto Gad, I am in a great
ftrait: let us fall now into the hand of the
Lord, (for bis mercies are || great; and let me || Or, monjy
nor fall into the hand of man.
1 y So the L o r d fent a peftilenee upon IC
rael , from the morning even to the time ap-

David repenting,
*po pointed: and there died of the people from Dan
even to Beer-fheba, feventie thousand men.
16 And when the angel ftretched out his
•s.Sam.ij, band upon Jerufalem to deftroy it, *the Lord
lu repented him of the evil, and faid to the angel
that deftroyed the people , It is enough : ftay
now thine hand. And the angel of the L o r d
was by the threfhing- place of Araunah the Je-
bufite.
17 And David fpake unto the Loro when
he faw the angel that fmote the people , and
faid, Lo, I have finned, and lhave done wic-
kedly: but thefe iheep,what have they done ? lee
thine hand , I pray thee , be againft me, and a-
giinft my fathers houfe.
18 ^ And Gad came that d3y to David, and
laid unto him , Go up , rear an altar unto the
Lor D,in the threlhing- floore of Araunah the
Jebufite.
19 And David, according to the faying of
Gad, went up as the Lord commanded.
10 And Araunah looked,' and faw the king
and his fervants coming on toward him : and
Araunah went out and bowed himfelf before
the plague ftayeth,’
the king on his face upon the ground.
ax And Araunah faid. Wherefore is my lord
the king come to his fervant ? And David faid.
To buy the threlhing- floore of thee to build an
altar unto the Lor d, that the plague may be
flayed from the people.
22 And Araunah faid unto David , Let my
lord the king take and offer up what feemeth -
good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt-
facrifice, and threihing-inftruments, and other
inftruments of the oxen for wood.
2$ All thefe things did Araunah, araking,
give unto the king ; and Araunah faid unto the
king, The L o r d thy God accent thee*
24 And the king faid unto Araunah , Nay;
but I will furely buy it of thee at a price : nei«
ther will I offer burnt. offerings unto the Lord
my God, of that which doth coft me nothing.
So David bought the threlhing- floore and the
oxen, for fifty fhekels of filver.
2$ And David built there an altar unto the
Lord, and offered burnt-offerings, and peace-
offerings: fothe Lord was intreated for the
land, and the plague was flayed from Ifrael.

jlYraoh king of Egypt , and took Pharaohs
daughter and brought her into the city of Da-
vid , untill he had made an end of building his
own houfe, and the houfe of the L o r d, and
the wall of Jerufalem round about.
x Onely the people facrificed in high places,
becaufe there was no houfe built unto the name
of the L o r d, untill thofe dayes.
3 And Solomon loved the L o r d, walking
in the ftatutes of David his father : onely he
facrificed and burnt incenfe in high places.
4 And the king went to Gibeon to factifice
there ; for that was the great high place : a
thoofand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer
upon that altar.
5 f In Gibeon the L o rd appeared toSo-

1 5 And Solomon awoke, and behold,if was
a dream : and he came to Jerufalem, and ftood
before the ark of the covenant of the L o r d,
and offered up burnt-offerings , and offered
peace-offerings , and made a feaft to all his
fervants.
1 6 f Then came there two women that
were harlots , unto the king, and ftood before
him.
17 And the one woman faid, O my lord, I
and this woman dwell in one houfe, and I was
delivered of a childe, with her in the houfe.
18 And it came to pafle the third day after
that I was delivered , that this woman was de-
livered alfo: and we were together ; there was
no ftranger with us in the houfe, fave we two in
the houfe.
1 9 And this womans childe died in the night;
becaufe (he overlaid it.

I had confidered it in the morning, behold, ic
was not my fonne, which I did bear.
2 2 And the other woman faid, Nayjbut the

and this faid, No; but the dead if thy fonne,

3 And he gave a figne the fame day, faying.
This is the figne which the Lord hath fpoken:
Behold, the altar (hall be rent, and the a(hes
that are upon it (hall be poured our.
4 And it came to paffe when king Jeroboam
heard the faying of the man of God, which had
cried againft the altar in Beth- el, that he put
forth his hand from the altar, faying, Lay hold
on him. And his hand which he put forth a-
gainft him, dried up, fo that he could not pull
it in again to him.
j The altar alfo was rent , and the alhes
poured out from the altar , according to the
figne which the man of God had given by the
yvord of the Lo r d.
6 And the king anfwered and faid unto the
man of God, Intreat now the face of the Lord
thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may
be rettored me again. And the man of God be-
ieb. tbt foughtfthe Lord, and the kings hand was
eftht reftored again, and became as it rvas before.
R 7 And the king faid unto the man of God,
Come home with me, and refrefh thy felf, and
I will give thee a reward.
8 And the man of God faid anto the king.
If thou wilt give me half thine houfe,I will not
go in with thee, neither will I eat bread, nor
drink water in this place :
9 For fo was it charged me by the word of
the Lo rd, faying, Eat no bread, nor drink
water, nor turn again by the fame way that
thou cameft.
10 So he went another way, and returned
not by the way that he came to Beth-el.
1 1 Now there dwelt an old prophet in
Beth-el, and his fonnes came and told bimail
the works that the man of God had done that
day in Beth- el : the words which he had fpoken
unto the king, them they told alfo to their fa-
ther.
it And their father faid unto them, What
way went he?for his fonnes had feen what way
the man of God went, which came from Judah.
i j And he £iid unto his fonnes, Saddle me
the affe. So they faddled him the affe , and he
rode thereon,
14 And went after the man of God , and
found him fitting under an oak } and he faid
unto him , Art thou the man of God that
cameft from J udah ? And he faid, I am.
1 y Then he faid unto him, Come home
with me, and eat bread.
\6 And he faid, I may not return with thee,
nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread, 307
nor drink water with thee in this place.
1 7 For t it was faid to me by the word of f Heb a
the Lord, Thou (halt eat no bread , nor was.
drink water there, nor turn again to go by the
way that thou cameft.
18 He faid unto him, l am 3 prophet alfo as
thou art, and an angel fpake unto me by the
word of the Lor d, faying, Bring him back
with thee into thine houfe , that he may eac
bread, and drink water : but he lied unto him.
19 So he went back with him , and did eac
bread in hij houfe, and drank water.
20 And it came to paffe as they fat at the
table, that the word of the L o r d came unto
the prophet that brought him back :
21 And he cried unto the man of God that
came from Judah , faying , Thus faith the
Lord, Forafmuch as thou haft difobeyed the
mouth of the Lord, and haft not kept the
commandment which the Lord thy God
commanded thee,
22 But cameft back, and haft eaten bread,
and drunk water in the place of the which the
LORD did fay to thee, Eat no bread,and drink
no water ; thy carcafe (hall not come unto the
fepulchre of thy fathers.
23 f And it came to paffe after he had
eaten bread , and after he had drunk, that he
faddled for him the affe, to wit, for the prophet
whom he had brought back.
24 And when he was gone, a lion met him
by the way, and flew him : and his carcafe was
caft in the way , and the affe flood by it , the
lion alfo flood by the carcafe.
2f And behold, men paffed by, and faw the
carcafe caft in the way, and the lion (landing
by the carcafe: and they came and told if in
the city where the old prophet dwelt.
a 6 And when the prophet that broughc
him back from the way, heard thereof, he faid.
It is the man of God, who was difobedient un-
to the word of the LORD:therefore the Lord
hath delivered him unto the lion , which hath
| torn him, and flain him, according to the
word of the Lord, which Tie fpake unto him.
27 And he fpake to his fonnes, faying, Saddle-
me the affe. And they faddled him.
28 And he went and found his carcafe caft
in the way, and the affe and the lion (landing
by the carcafe.’ the lion had not eaten the car-
cafe, nor t torn the affe. f Heb. inSft*
29 And the prophet took up the carcafe of
the man of God, and laid it upon the affe, and
brought it back: and the old prophet came to

the captain of the hoicking over Ifrael that day

17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon,and
all Ifrael with him, and they befieged Tirzah.
1 8 And it came to paffe when Zimri faw
that the citie was taken, that he went into the
palace of the kings houfe,and burnt the kings
boufe over him with fire, and died;
19 For his finnes which he finned in doing
evil in the fight of the Lord, in walking in the
way of Jeroboam, and in his finne which he
did, to make Ifrael finne.

11 if Then were the people of Ifrael divided
into two parts: halfof the people followed Tib.

half followed Omri.
at But the people that followed Omri , pre-

Omri reigned.
2j H In the thirtie and one yeareof Afa
king of Judah , began Omri to reigne over
Ifrael twelve yeares : fix yeares reigned he in
Tirzah.
24 And he bought the hill Samaria of She-

hill, and called the name of thecitie which he
built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the
sb.Jfo. hill f Samaria.
*i IT But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of
the L o r d, and did worfe then all that n>ert
before him.
26 For he walked in all the way of Jerobo-

IN the twelfth ycare of Ahaz king of Judah,
began Holhtathe fonne of Elah to reigne in
Samaria, over Ifrael nine yeares.
2 And he did that which was evil in the fight
ofthe Lord-, but not as the kings of Ifrael
that were before him. - :
3 f Againft him came up Shalmaneferking
of Affyria,and Hofhea became his fervant,and
f Heb. ren- f gave him || prefents.
dred. 4 And the king of Affyria found confpi-
y Or,./; ate. racie jn Hofhea : for he had fenc meflengers to
So king of Egypt, and brought no prelent to
the king of Affyria, as he had done yeare by
yeare: therefore the king of Affyria ihut him
up, and bound him in prifon.
? ^ Then the king of Affyria came up
, throughout all the land, and went up to Sama-
ria, and befieged it three yeares.
fCfiap.18.10 6 f =fcln the ninth yeare of Hoffiea, the
king of ^Fyria took Samaria, and carried Ifrael
away into Affyria, and placed them in Halah
and in H abor by the river of Gozan,and in the
cities of the Medes.
The Samaricanes plagued.
7 For foit was, that the children of Ifrael
had finned againft the Lord their God, which
had brought them up out ofthelandof Egypt,
from under the hand of Pharaoh king of E*
gypt, and had feared other gods,
8 And walked in the ftatuces of the hea-
then, (whom the LORD caft cut from before
the children of Ifrael) and of the kings of If-
rael, which they had made.
9 And the children of Ifrael did fecretly
thofe things that were not right, againft the
Lord their God, and they built them high
places in all their cities, from the tower of the
watchmen, to the fenced city.
10 And they fet them up f images & groves ^ ^a'
in every high hill , and under every green tree: tu<>‘
1 1 And there they burnt incenfe in all the
high places , as did the heathen whom the
Lord carried away before thempnd wrought
wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger.
1 z For they ferved idols, whereof the Lord
had faid unco them , * Ye (hall not do this *Deut.4.i
thing.
1 3 Yet the LORD teftified againft Ifrael,
and againft Judah, ] by all the prophets, and by f Heb. kr t
all the feers,faying, * Turn ye from your evil °fa^
wayes, and keep my commandments and my
ftatutes,according to all the law which I com- ajjd 35.15,
manded your fathers, and which I fent to yon
by my fervantsthe prophets.
14 Notwithftanding,they would not heare,
but * hardened their necks, like to the neckof *Deut,3i.
their fathers,that did not beleeve in the Lord
their God. :•
1 5 And they r$ jeded his ftatutes, and his
covenant that he made with their fathers, and
his teftimonies which .he teftified againft
them, and they followed vanity , and became
vain, and went after the heathen that.. were
round about them , concerning whom the
fOM) had charged them, that they fhould not
do like them...
16 And they lefc all the commandments of
the Lord their God, and *made them molteri'*Exod.32
images/% ten two calves, and made a grove, and *• KmSs
worlhipped all thehoft of heaven, and ferved 11,1

17 And they caufed their fo/mes and their
daughters to paffe through the fire, and ufed
divination and inchantments, and fold them-
fclves to do evil in the fight of the Lord, to
provoke him to anger.
18 Therefore the LORD was very angry
with Ifrael , and removed them out of his
lighr,there was none left but the tribe of Ju-
dah onely.
19 Alfo Judah kept notthe commandments
of the Lord their God.but walked in the fta-
tutes of Ifrael which they made.
20 And the LORD rejeded all the feed of

Ifrael, and affli&ed them, and delivered them
into the hand of fpoilers, untill he had call
them out of his light.
i i For he rent Ifrael from the houfe of Da-
vid, and they made Jeroboam the fonne of Ne-
bat king, and Jeroboam dravc Ifrael from fol-
lowing the Lord, and made them linnc a
great linne.
22 For the children of Ifrael walked in all
the finnesof Jeroboam which he did, they de-
parted not from them :
2$ Untill the Lord removed Ifrael out
of his fight , as he had faid by all his fervants
the prophets : fo was Ifrael carried away out of
their own land to Aflyria, unto this day.
24 IT And the king of Alfyria brought meri
from Babylon, and from Cuthah ty and from
Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim,
and placed them in the cities of Samaria , in
Head of the children of Ifrael; and they poflef-
fcd Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
2f And/o it was at the beginning of their
dwelling thetejhat they feared not the Lord;
therefore the Lord fent lions among them ,
which flew fome of them.
26 Wherefore they fpake to the king of
Aflyria, faying. The nations which thou haft
removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria,
know not the manner of the God of the land/
therefore he hath fent lions among them, and
behold, they flay them, becaufe they know not
the manner of the God of the land.
27 Then the king of Aflyria commanded,
faying, Carry thither one of the priefis whom
ye brought from thence, and let them gd and
dwell there, and let him teach them the man-
ner of the G6d of the land.
28 Then one of the priefts whom they had
carried awfy from Samaria, came and dweltin
Beth-el, and taught them how they ihould fear
the'LoRD.
29 Howbeit , every nation made gods of
their own, and put them in the houfes of the
high places Which the Samaritanes had made,
every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
30 And the men ofBabylon.made Succoth-
benoth , and the men of 'Cuth made Nergal,
and the men of Hamath made Afliima,
31 And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tar-
tak, and the Scpharvites burnt their children in
fire to Adrammelech, and Anammelech, the
gods of Sepharvaim.
. 32. So th?y feared the Lord , and made
untothemfelvesof the loweft of them priefts

3? * They feared the LORD, and ferved

venanc , and charged them, faying, * Ye (hall . *
not fear other gods 3 nor bowe your felvej co

36 But the LoRD,who brought you up out
of the land of Egypt, with great power, and a
ltretched out arm , himihallye fear, and him
fliall ye worlbip, & to him {hall ye do facrifice.
37 And the ftatutes , and the ordinances ,

39 But the Lord your God ye {hall fear,

40 Howbeit, they did not hearken, but they
did after their former manner.
41 So thefe nations feared the Lord, and
ferved their graven images, both their chil-

fathers, fo do they unto this day.

1 God having given tejlimorty to Solomons prayer by
fire from heaven , and glory in the temple, the people
rvorfbip hrm.y Solomons folemn facrifice. Z Solomon
having kept the feaft of tabernacles, andthefeaft of
the dedication of the altar, dirmiffeth the people,
ip God appearing to Solomon, giveth htmpromtfes
upon condition .
NOw * when Solomon had made an end
of praying, the * fire came down from
heaven and confumed the burnt-offering, and
the facrifices j and the glory of the Loro
filled the houfe.
2 And the priefts could not enter into the
houfe of the L o r d, becaufe the glory of the
Loro had filled the L o r d s houle.
3 And when all the children of lfrael faw
how the fire came down, and the glory of the
Lord upon the houfe, they bowed themfelves
with their faces to the ground upon the pave-
ment,and worffiipped,and praifed the L o r d,
faying* F°r ht u good, for his mercie endure th
foe ever.
4 f Then the king and all the people offer-
ed facrifices before the L o r d.
j And king Solomon offered a facrifice of
twenty and two thoufand oxen, and an hun-
dred and twenty thoufand (heep : fo the king
and all the people dedicated the houfe of God.
6 * And the priefts waited on their offices : *i-Chron.
the Lcvites alfo with inftruments of mufick of 15*‘6,
the L o R d, which David the king had made
to praife the LoRo,becaufe his mercy endureth
for ever, when David praifed t by their minifte- tHeb* h
ry : and the priefts founded trumpets before their haad, •
them.and all lfrael ftood.
7 Moreover, Solomon hallowed the middle
of the court that was before the houfe of the
Lord: for there he offered burnt-offerings,
and the fat of the peace-offerings, becaufe the
brafen altar which Solomon had made , was
not able to receive the burnt-offerings, and
the meat-offerings, and the fat.
8 Alfo at the fame time Solomon kept
the feall feven dayes, and all lfrael with him,a
very great congregation, from the entring in
of Hamath, unto * the river of Egypt. » ;
9 And in the eighth day they made f a fo- fHeb.4rV- *

the altar feven dayes, and the feaft feven
dayes.
10 And on the three and twentieth day of
the feventh moneth, he fent the people away
into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the
goodneffe that the L o r d had ibewed unto
David , and to Solomon, and to lfrael his
people.
11 Thus * Solomon finiffied the houfe of * 1. Kings 9',
the L o r d, and the kings houfe : and all that ‘»&c*
came into Solomons heart to make in the
houfe of the L o r d, and in his own houfe, he

bowed down himfeif before them,and burned

1 5 Wherefore the anger of the L o r d was

8 And the children of Ifrael carried away
captive of their brethren , two hundred thou-

9 But a prophet of the L o r d was there,
whofc name was Odedtand he went out before

vered them into your hand , and ye have flain
them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.
to And now ye purpofe to keep under the
children of Judah and Jerufalem for bond-

not with you, even with you, finnes again!! the
Lord your God?
1 1 Now heare me therefore , and deliver
the captives again , which ye have taken ca-
ptive of your brethren ; for the fierce wrath of
God is upon you.
1 1 Then certain of the heads of the chil-

Jehizkiah the fonne of Shallum, and Amafa
the fonne of Hadlai, flood up again!! them that

fended again!! the Lord already ,ye intend to
adde more to our finnes and to ourtrefpafle:
for our trtfpafle is great , and there is fierce
wrath againlt Ifrael.
14 Sothe armed men left the captives and
the fpoil, before the princes and all the con-

1 f And the men which were e zprefled by
aame,rofe up, and took the captives, and with
the fpoil clothed all that were naked among
them , and arayed them , and !hod them, and 3 9 y

18 The Philiftines alfo had invaded the ci-

Judah, and had taken Beth-!heme!h, and Aia-

thereof, Gimzo alfo and the villages thereof:

Jbeweth the utter mine of the Jews, 10 becaufe they

THe word of the Lord came alfo unto me,

that none lhould ferve themfelves of them any
more, then they obeyed and let them go.

’He word which came to Jeremiah from
the LORD, after that Nebuzaradan the
captain of the guard, had let him go from Ra-
mah,when he had taken him being bound in
{I Or, m.t\ (1 chains among all that were carried away ca-
ptiveof Jerufalem and Judah, which were car-

hath pronounced this evil upon this place.
5 Now the Lord hath brought if, and
done according as he hath faid : becaufe ye

6 Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the

him among the people that were left in the
land.
7 41 Now when all the captains of the forces
which were in the fields, even they and their
men heard that the king of Babylon had made
Gedaliah the fonne of Ahikam governour in
the land, and had committed unto him men,
and women, and children, and of the poore of
the land, of them that were not carried away
captive to Babylon j

THen I looked, and behold, in the * firma-
ment that was above the head of the che-
rubims, there appeared over them, as it were
a faphirc-ftonc, as the appearance of the like-
ns fle of a throne.
z Andhefpake unto the man clothed with
linen, and faid, Go in between the wheels,
even under the cherub , and fill t thine hand
with coals of fire from between the cherubim*,
and fcatter them over the city. And he went in
my fight. „ , ...
5. Now the cherubims flood on the right
fide of the houfe, when the man went in, and
the cloud filled the inner courts
4 Then the glory of the L o R d f went up
from the cherub, and flood, over the threfhold
of the houfe, and the houfe was filled with the
cloud, and the court was full of the brightneffc
of the L o R D s glory.
y And the * found of the cherubims wings
was heard even to the utter court , as the voice
of the Almighty God when he fpeaketh.
6 And it came topaffe, that when he had
commanded the man clothed with linen, fay-
ing. Take fire from between the wheels, from
between the cherubims; then he went in , and
flood befide the wheels.
7 And one cherub t ftretched forth his hand
from between the cherubims unto the fire that
was between the cherubims, and took thereof ,
and put it into the hands of him that was clo-
thed with linen: who took it, and went out.
8 ^ And there appeared in the cherubims,
the form of a mans hand under their wings.
9 And when I looked , behold , the foure
wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one
cherub, and another wheel by another cherub:
and the appearance of the wheels was as the
colour of a * beryll-ftone.
10 And as for their appearances, they foure
had one likeneffe, as if a wheel had been in the
midftofawheel. .
1 1 When they went, they went upon their
foure fides j they turned not as they went, but
to the place whither the head looked, they fol-
lowed it; they turned not as they went,
1 z And their whole t body, and their backs,
and their hands, and their wings , and the
wheels were full of eyes round about, even the
wheels that they foure had.
1 1 As for the wheels, H it was erred unto
them in my hearing, O wheel. .
14 And every one had foure faces •• the hr it
face was the face of a cherub, and the fecond
fa cents the face of a man, & the third the face

10 This is the living creature that I faw un-

1 z Say now to the rebellious houfe. Know
ye not what thefe things mean f tell them, Be-
hold,the king of Babylon is come to Jerufalem,
and hath taken the king thereof, and the

to flan to it, But he rebelled againft him in fending
his ambaffadours into Egypt , that they might
give him horfes and much people : fhall he pro-
sper ? fhall he efcape that doeth fuch things ?
or fhall he break the covenant, and be deli-
vered ?
16 As I live, faith the Lord GOD, furely in
the place where the king dmlletb that made
him king, whofe oath he defpifed , and whofe
covenant he brake, even with him, in the midft
of Babylon he fhall die.
17 Neither fhall Pharaoh with his mighty
army and great company make for him in the
warre by calling up mounts,and building forts,
to cut off many perfons.
1 8 Seeing he defpifed the oath, by breaking
the covenant ( when lo,he had given his hand)
and hath done all thefe things , he fhall not
efcape.
1 9 Therefore thus faith the Lord Qov>3As
I live, furely mine oath that he hath defpifed,
and my covenant that he hath broken, even it
will I recompenfe upon his own head.

fhall fall by the fword, and they that remain
fhall be fcattered towards all windes : and ye
fhall know that I the Lord have fpokenir.
zx f Thus faith the Lord GOD, I will alfo
take of the higheft branch of the high cedar ,
and will Get if , I will crop off from the top of
his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it
upon an high mountain and eminent.

Hand in the kings palace , and whom they
might teach the learning and the tongue of
the Caldeans.
f And the king appointed them a daily pro*
vifion of the kings meat, and ofjthe nine which
he drank : fo nourifliing them three yeares,that
at the end thereof they might Hand before the
king.
6 Now among thefe were of the children of
Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mi(hael,and Aza-
riah :
7 Unto whom the prince of the eanuchs
gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name
of Beltefiiazzar ; and to Hananiah , of Sha-
drach;and toMifliael, of Meftuchjand to A-
zariah, of Abed-nego.
8 But Daniel purpofed in his heart, that
he would not defile himfelf with the portion of
the kings meat, nor with the wine which he
drank : therefore he requefted of the prince
of the eunuchs, that he might not defile him*
felf.
9 Now God had brought Daniel into fa-
vour and tender love with the prince of the
eunuchs.
to And the prince of the eunuchs faid unto
Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath ap-
pointed your meat and your drink: for why
lhould he fee your faces t worfe liking then the
children which are of your fl fort? then (hall ye
make me endanger my head to the king.
it Then faid Daniel to jjMelzar, whom
the prince of the eunuchs hadfet over Daniel,
Hananiah, Mifliael, and Azariab,
1 1 Prove thy fervants, I befeech thee, ten
dayes, and let them give us f pulfe t to eat, and
Water to drink.
i j Then let our countenances be looked up-
of before thee, and the countenance of the chil-
dren that eat of the portion of the kings meat:
and as thou feeft, deal with thy fervants.
14 So he conCented to them in this matter,
and proved them ten dayes.
if And at the end of ten dayes, their coun-
tenances appeared fairer, and fatter in flelh
then all the children which did eat the portion
of the kings meat.
16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of
their meat , and the wine that they lhould
drink : and gave them pulfe.
17 f As for thefe foure children, God gave
them knowledge and skill inafl learning and
wifdome , and J| Daniel hid underttanding in
all vifions and dreams.
18 Now at the end of the dayes that the
king had faid he lhould bring them in, then
the prince of the eunuchs brought them in be-

ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to

therefore tell me the dream, & I lhall know that
ye can fliew me the interpretation thereof.
10 The Caldeans anfwered before the
king, and faid. There is not a man upon the
earth that can fliew the kings matter; there-

1 1 For this caufe the king was angry and
very furious,and commanded to deftroy all the
wife-men of Babylon.

27 Daniel anfwered in the prefence of the
king, and faid. The fecret which the king bath
demanded , cannot the wife-men, the aftrolo-
gians, the magicians, the foothfayerslhew unto
the king;
28 But there is a God in heaven that reveal-

2 1 I beheld, and the fame horn made warre

22 Untill the ancient of dayes came, and

have we to do with thee, Jefus thou fonne of
God ? art thou come hither to torment us be-

30 And there was a good way off from them
an herd of mahy fwine, feeding.
31 So the devils befought him, faying, IF

31 And he faid unto them. Go. And when
they were come out, they went into the herd
of (wine: and behold, the whole herd offwine
ran violently down a fteep place into the Tea,
and perilled in the waters.
33 And they that kept them fled, and went
their wayes into the citie,and told every thing,
and what was befallen to the poffcfied of the

34 Arid behold, the whole citie came out to

19 IF * Then came to him his mother and
his brethren, and could not come at him for
the preafle.
20 And it was told him by certain, which
faid, Thy mother and thy brethren (land with-
out, defiring to fee thee.
11 And heanfwered andfaid unto them.
My mother and my brethren are thefe which
beare the word of God, and do it.
22 5f * Now it came to pafie on a certain dayj
that he went into a (hip with his difcioles: and
he faid unto them. Let us go over unto the
other fide of the lakej and they lanched forth.
^3 But as they failed, he fell afleep : and
there came down a ftorm of winde on the lake,
and they were filled with water , and were in
jeopardy.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him,
faying, Mailer, mailer , we perilh. Then he
arofe, and rebuked the winde, and the raging
of the water: and they ceafed, and there was a
calm.
2? And he faid unto them, Where is your
faith? And they being afraid, wondred, faying
one to another. What manner of man is this?
for hecommandetheventhe windesand Wa-
ter, and they obey him.
-2 6 ^ * And they arrived at the countrey of
the Gadarenes, which is over againft Galilee.
27 And when he went forth to land, there
met him out of the city, a certain man which
had devils longtime,.and ware no clothes, nei-
ther abode in any houfe, but in the tombes.
28 When he faw Jefus, he cried out,and fell
down before him, and with a loud voice faid.
What have I tado with thee, Jefas, thou fonne
of God mod high? I befcech thee torment me
not.
29 i^For he had commanded the unclean
it had caught him,and he was kept bound with
chains, and in fetters, and he brake the bands
and was driven of the devil into the wildernes)
30 And Jefus asked him,faying,What is thy
name? And he faid, Legion : becaufc many de-
vils were entred into him.
3 1 And they befought him that he would
not command them to go out into the deep.
3 2 And there was there an herd of many
fwine feeding on the mountain: and they be-
fought him that he would fuffer them to enter
into them: and he fuffered them.
33 Then went the devils out of the man,
and entred into the fwine: and the herd ran;
violently down a deep place into the lake, and
were choked.
34 When they that fed them faw what was
done, they fled,and went and told it in the city
and in the countrey.
3 ? Then they went out to fee what was
done, and came to Jefus, and found the man
out of whom the devils were departed, fitting
at the feet of Jefus, clothed, and in his right
minde: and they were afraid.
36 They alfo which faw it, told them by
what means he that was podefled of the devils,
was healed.
3 7 5f Then the whole multitude of the cotfn-
trey of the Gadarenes round about, befought
him to depart from themj for they were taken
with great fear: and he went up into the (hip,
and returned back again.
38 Now the man out of whom the devils
Were departed, befought him that he might be
with him: but Jefus fent him away, faying,
19 Return to thine own houfe, and (hew
how great things God hath done unto thee.
And he went his way, and publilhed through-
out the whole city, how great things Jefus had
done unto him.
40 And it came to pafie, that when Jefus
was returned, the people gladly received him:
for they were all waiting for him.
41 <1 *And behold, there came a man na- * Matth.?.

* Mait.i8.i- \ tOw * upon the firft day of the week, very
JNL early in the morning , they came unto the
fepulchre, bringing the fpices which they had
prepared, and certain others with them.
2 And they found the ftonc rolled away
from the fepulchre.
-‘3 And they entred in , and found not the
Jjodie of the Lord Jefus.
4 And it came topafle , as they were much
perplexed thereabout , behold , two men flood
by them in Ifrining garments.
y And as they were afraid, and bowed down
their faces to the darth , they faid unto them,
\tOr, him that Why feek ye }| the living among the dead ?

cified, and the third day rife again.
8 And they remembred his words,
9 And returned from the fepulchre, and told
all thefe things unto the eleven, and to all the
reft.
10 It was Mary Magdalene , and Joanna,
and Mary the mother of James, and other wo-
men that were with them , which told thefe
things unto the npoftles.
1 1 And theirwords feemed to them as idle
talcs, and they beleeved them not.
* Joh.io. 6. * Then arofe Peter, and ran unto the fe-
pulchre, and ftoupmg down, he beheld the li-
nen clothes laid by themfelvcs , and departed.
Wondering in himfelf at that which was come
topafle.
* Mar.1tf.12. * 13 *r * And behold, two of them went that
fame day to a village called Emmaus, which
was from Jerufalem about threefcore furlongs.
14 And they talked together of all thefe
things which had happened.
iy And it came to pafle, that while they
communed together, and reafoned, Jefus him-
felfdrewneare,andwentwith them. •
1 6 But- their eyes were holden, that they
* fhould not know him.
17 And he faid unto them. What manner
of communications arc thefe that ye have one
to another, as ye walk, and are fad i
; - 18 And the one of them, whofe name was
Cleopas, anfwering, laid unto him , Art thou
onelya ftranger in Jerufalem , and haft not
knownthe things which are come to pafle there
in d\cfc foyes?
1 r
19 And he faid unto them. What things?
and they laid unto him. Concerning Jefus of
Nazareth , which was a prophet migbtie in
deed and word before God, and all the people:
20 And how the chief priefts and our rulers,
delivered him to be condemned to death , and
have crucified him.
2 1 But wc trufted that it had been he,which
fhould have redeemed Ifrael : and befide all
this, to day is the third day fince thefe things
were done.
22 Yea, and certain women alfo of our com-
pany made us aftomfhed, which were early at
the fepulchre :
13 And when they found not his body, they
came, faying, that they had alfo feen a vifion of
angels, which faid that he was alive.
24 And certain of them which were with’
us, went to the fepulchre, and found it even
fo as the women had faid , but him they fay*
not.
2y Then he faid unto them, O fools , and
flow of heart to beleeve all that the prophets
havefpoken:
16 Ought not Chrift to have fullered thefe
things, and to enter into his glorie ?
27 And beginning at Mofes , and all the
prophets, he expounded unto them in all the’
feriptures, the things concerning himfelf.
28 And they drew nigh unto the village,
whither they went, and he made as though he
would have gone further.
e 29 But they conftrained him , faying, A-
bide with us, for it is towards evening, and the
day is farre fpent: and he went in to tarry with
thcm( ,
30 And it came topafle, as he fat at meat
with them, he took bread ,and blefled it, and
brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they
knew him, and he|j vanilhed outoftheir fight. j| or, eeapi
32 And they faid one to another. Did not to be fttntf
our heart burn within us, while he talked with^fW*
us by the way, and while he opened to us the

3 3 And they rofe up the fame houre,and re-
turned to Jerufalem, and found the eleven
gathered together , and them that were with
them,
34 Saying, The Lord is rifen indeed, and
hath appeared to Simon.
3J And they told what things were done in
the way, and how he was known of them in
breaking of bread.

1 Jefus on the fabbath-day curetb him that
wm difeafed eight and thirty yeares. 10 The
Jews therefore cavill , and persecute him for
it. 17 He anfwereth for himfelf and repro-
veth them, j hewing by the teftimonie of his
Father , 3 2 of John, $6 of bit works , 39 and
of thefcriptures,who he is .
AFter*this there was a feaft of the Jevys, *Iev-*>a.
and Jefus went up to Jerufalem. Deur* 1 6*
2 Now there is at Jerufalem by thefheep-
II market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew fl0r»Sat«*
tongue, Bethefda, having five porches.
3 In thefe lay a great multitude of impotent
folk, of blinde,halt, withered, waiting for the
moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain fea-
fon into the pool,and troubled the watenwho-
foeverthen firft after the troubling of the wa-
ter ftepped in, was made whole of whatfoevec
difeafe he bad.
j And a certain man was there, which had
an infirmity thirty and eight yeares.
6 When Jefus faw him lie, and knew that
he had been now a long time in that cafe, he
faith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole ?
7 The impotent man anfwered him. Sir, I
have no man, when the water is troubled, to
put me into the pool : but while 1 am coming,
another fteppeth down before me.
8 Jefus faith unto him, Rife, take up thy
bed,and walk.

whole, and took up his bed, and walked:and on

ij The man departed, and told the Jews
that it Was JefuS which had made him whole.
1 6 And therefore did the Jews perfecute Je-
fus, and fought tofliy him,becaufe he had done
thefe things on the fabbath-day.
17 f But Jefus anfwered them, My Father
worketh hitherto, arid I work.
18 Therefore the Jews fought the more to
kill him, becaufe he not onely had broken the
fabbath,but faid alfo,that God wartiis Father,
making himfelf equall with God.
1 9 Then anfwered Jefus and faid unto them.
Verily verily I fay unto you, The Sonne can do
nothing of himfelf, but what he feeth the Fa-
ther do •. for what things foever he doeth, thefe
alfo doeth the Sonne likewife.
20 For the Father loveth the Sonne, and
flitweth him all things that himfelf doeth: and
he will Ihew him greater works then thefe,that
ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raifeth up the dead, and
quickeneth them:even fo the Sonne quickeneth
whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no man: but hath
committed all judgement unto the Sonne :
25 That all men {hoald honour the Sonne,
even as they honour the Father. He that ho-
noureth not the Sonne, honoureth not the Fa-
ther which hath fent him.
24 Verily verily I fay unto you, He that
heareth my word, and bcleeveth on him that
fent me, hath everlafting life, and (hall not
come into condemnation : but ispaffed from
death unto life.
as Verily verily I fay unto you, The hcmre is
coming, and now is, when the dead (hall heare
the voice of the Sonne of God: and they that
heare (hall live. ^
2 6 For as the Father hath life in himfelf : fo
hath he given to theSon to have life in himfelf.
27 And hath given him authority totexecute
judgement alfo,becaufe he is theSonne of man.
28 Marvel not at this: forthehoure is co-

none but the woman, he faid unto her, Woman,

* After that, he poureth water into a bafon,
